How Do I Heat Emboss? Simple Tips Tutorial

How Do I Heat Emboss? Simple Tips Tutorial – Focus Friday – Biggest Wish – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

During the month of October Focus Friday is going to be looking at Heat Embossing. In this post, we are learning the basics of heat embossing. Heat embossing is a very easy technique that always gives a wow effect to your card. It really feels like magic watching the dull powder, turn glossy and shiny.

There are a number of tips I want to give you. Remember practice makes perfect. You will need to use a “sticky” ink like Versamark to heat emboss. You need very little powder to achieve a great effect. I always use an embossing buddy on my paper before I start to get rid of any static. This means the embossing powder will only stick where there is ink. Lastly, let your heat tool heat up for 30 seconds away from your card. This means it will be hot already and the powder will take less time to melt. This reduces the chance of any powder blowing away.

Amazing Day-Simple Panel Card-Easy Make

Amazing Day-Simple Panel Card-Easy Make – Colouring – Alcohol Markers – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK

This is one of my go to style of cards. It’s a great way to stretch your designer series paper (DSP). I’ve used half a sheet of 6″ X 6″ paper. Sometimes I place the paper in the middle of the card and sometimes more to one side or the other.

The focal image is from Amazing Year. Such a beautiful simple bunch of flowers. They are coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Below is another way. Which do you prefer?

Make Dies Your Focus – Simple Card

Make Dies Your Focus – Simple Card – Focus Friday – Poppy Moments – Go to Greetings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

This is such an elegant card. I’ve used no colour only Basic Black, Basic Grey and Basic White. This post is a Focus Friday post. During the month of September, we have been focusing on dies every Friday. I’ve made dies the total focus of this card. The stamping is just for the simple sentiment.

These florals are actually the poppies from Poppy Moments. I’ve used these dies in many different ways and will link some of them below.

Red Fox – Make a Simple Card Today!!

Red Fox – Make a Simple Card Today!! – Stylish Sketches – Watercolouring – Crafting with Ashee = Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln – UK

This fox looks a lot redder in the photo than he does in real life. I coloured him using a water painter and Cajun Craze ink pad. You can mix colours to colour the little fox in as well. The grass is Old Olive and the sky is Balmy Blue. I love playing with colours. It’s such fun.

How I made a Tonal Background – Timeless Tile – Focus Friday – Thank You Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo! – Uk

I love how this card turned out. I used the Timeless Tile background stamp to give some tonal interest in the background. The background was too plain otherwise for my tastes. This is a Focus Friday card. This month we have been looking at using background and large stamps in our cardmaking.

Use Background Stamps With Me! Focus Friday

Use Background Stamps With Me! Focus Friday – Bouquet of Thanks – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. For the month of July, we are looking at background stamps. These are large stamps that cover most if not all of the card front. They are usually repeating designs that add interest to a card without detracting from the focal image. They can also be large stamps that give you the focal image in one stamp.
